Method

  1. Mix together the fish sauce, turmeric, lemongrass, garlic, 20g sugar, sesame oil and 1/2 the coriander. Mix the pork with the marinade and leave for 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Heat the vinegar and remaining sugar in a small saucepan. Boil until thickened for about 5-10 minutes, then cool. Add the chilli, peanuts and remaining coriander.
  3. Pour boiling water over the noodles until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. Dry in a tea towel and drizzle with a little extra oil to keep from sticking.
  4. Heat a frying pan until very hot. Fry the pork until browned and serve over the noodles with the sticky chilli and peanut sauce, a few coriander leaves and the mint.

    The pork was a little salty for my liking, but the sauce (which is rather delicious) managed to balance it out perfectly

    I have to say I wasn't that impressed with this dish. Pork was nice but overall for me the dish lacked flavour.

    Delicious. I added more sugar into the marinade and kept the seeds in the chillis as I like it hot.
